9514 1404 393

  a.  $3,455.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The monthly payment is given by the amortization formula:

  A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t))

for loan amount P at annual rate r for t years.

For this mortgage, we use P = $530,000, r = 0.068, t = 30.

  A = $530,000(0.068/12)/(1 -(1 +0.068/12)^(-360)) ≈ $3,455.20

The monthly payment is $3,455.20.
